The Nashville School District officially kicked off preparations for the new school year on Thursday with its General Faculty Meeting, held under a strong patriotic theme in anticipation of America 250 celebrations.

The meeting began with a performance of “God Bless the USA,” setting the tone for what Superintendent Doug Graham said would be a year full of patriotic spirit, especially during the upcoming Back to School Bash scheduled for August 8th.

Graham also announced this year’s back-to-school theme: “Home of the Brave, Heart of a Scrapper!”

During the meeting, Assistant Superintendent Tate Gordon took time to recognize several teachers who received merit pay for their outstanding performance over the past academic year.

To close out the event, Graham delivered a Back to School Address, encouraging and motivating staff for the upcoming school year.
